Definitions

  • Rollers for roller bearings usually have a straight profile on their respective end faces, that is, the end faces are neither curved inwards nor outwards. However, in certain applications it can happen that a straight end profile leads to high friction and thus to high temperatures.
  • straight ground end faces i.e. end faces that run perpendicular to the roller axis
  • an unfavorable roller-board contact can result, which can lead to increased friction, wear or bearing damage under axial load.
  • rollers with a ground end profile with a constant, spherical curvature are known, which, however, have the disadvantage that they have to be manufactured very precisely in order to prevent critical operating conditions, such as edge running or contact ellipse cutting.
  • a role according to the preamble of claim 1 shows DE 102 30357 A1 .
  • a roller for roller bearings with two end faces and one running surface is described below.
  • at least one end face has an at least partially ground profile with a non-constant curvature.
  • a roller bearing equipped with such a roller can in particular have a higher axial load capacity and can be used, for example, as a wheel set bearing, gearbox bearing, traction motor bearing of rail vehicles, wind turbine bearings, rolling mill bearings.
  • a non-constant curvature is understood to mean a curvature of a curve whose radius of curvature is not constant along the course of the curve, but rather changes.
  • the curvature of the curve that corresponds to the ground profile of the end face and runs from a starting point to an end point may become stronger or weaker as the distance from the starting point increases.
  • the curvature is determined along a curve running in the radial direction.
  • the curvature is a logarithmic curvature and/or the profile is a toroidal profile.
  • An end face profile with a logarithmic curvature and/or a toroidal crowned profile makes it possible to avoid edge running and to reduce friction in the end face contact of roller bearings.
  • the roller can in particular be a tapered roller, which is used accordingly in a tapered roller bearing.
  • the end face with the at least partially ground profile abuts a guide edge of the roller bearing.
  • the face with the larger diameter forms a leading flange and the face with the smaller diameter forms a holding flange.
  • at least the leading edge tread is at least partially ground and has a non-constant curvature.
  • the holding board running surface can be flat, constantly curved or have a non-constantly curved profile and, for example, be ground, hard-turned or manufactured by another manufacturing mechanism.
  • ground profile is understood to mean a profile that is formed by grinding and whose shape is essentially determined by the grinding.
  • a ground profile is not understood to mean a profile that is formed by another manufacturing process, for example by hard turning, and is then subjected to a vibratory grinding process, such as drumming, to correct unevenness.
  • the ground profile is preferably formed at the transition from the end face to a running surface of the roller.
  • the at least partially ground profile of the end face can merge into a profile which is formed on the running surface of the roller via a, preferably unground, edge shortening.
  • the running surface of the roller is also ground.
  • the profile, which is formed on the running surface of the roller has a non-constant curvature starting from the edge shortening.
  • the curvature is a logarithmic curvature and/or the profile is a toroidal profile.
  • the profile at 0.9 ⁇ R has a pitch ⁇ which is between 0.15° and 2° (0.15° ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 2.0°), where R is the roller radius.
  • a profile height Y of 0.88 ⁇ R is preferably between 0.00007 ⁇ R and 0.0020 ⁇ R (0.00007 ⁇ R ⁇ Y ⁇ 0.0020 ⁇ R).
  • a maximum profile height Z can be at one Radial distance
  • the term profile height is understood to mean a distance from the profile to a reference value in the direction of the roller axis or rotation axis. For the role described above, the reference value is 0.65 ⁇ R.
  • the edge shortening range begins at a value 9940 ⁇ R and 0.9994 ⁇ R (0.9940 ⁇ R ⁇ C ⁇ 0.9994 ⁇ R), with a raceway profile preferably being formed following the edge shortening.
  • the roller has at least one unground surface area radially within the ground surface.
  • the unground surface area can, for example, be designed as a trough, a so-called dimple, in the area of the ground surface. This trough or dimple can be used, for example, to hold the roller captively on or in a cage during assembly.
  • the non-ground surface area can also be radially outside the ground surface, e.g. B. be provided at the transition to the track or on an edge.
  • an arrangement is provided with a grinding tool and a roller described above for a roller bearing, wherein the grinding tool and the roller are rotatable/movable relative to one another.
  • the grinding tool is designed in such a way that it forms the ground profile, and/or the grinding tool and the roller can be moved relative to one another in such a way that the ground profile can be formed.
  • the grinding tool and the roller can be tiltable relative to one another in order to form the ground profile.
  • the grinding tool can have a profile that is complementary to the profile to be formed on the roller.
  • the grinding tool and the roller are arranged relative to one another in such a way that they interact essentially along a linear contact area.
  • the contact area essentially corresponds to the grinding area and, roughly speaking, forms a line along which the roller and the grinding tool touch each other.
  • the contact area has a certain area, with a more precise design of the ground profile The smaller the area of the contact area, the better it is.
  • a flat profile can be obtained by rotating a radial curve, which determines the non-constant curvature, about the axis of rotation. By rotating the radial curve around the axis of rotation, a flat profile is obtained that has a non-constant curvature in the radial direction.
  • the grinding tool rotates along a rotation axis and/or the roller rotates along a rotation axis, in particular the directions of rotation of the rotation axes being selected such that an opposite movement is carried out in the contact area. This can improve the efficiency of grinding, for example.
  • the axis of rotation of the grinding tool and the axis of rotation of the roller can enclose an angle that assumes a value between 0° and 90°, in particular between 25° and 75°.
  • the angle between the axis of rotation of the grinding tool and the axis of rotation of the roller can be adjustable depending on the profile to be ground.
  • the grinding tool has the shape of a truncated cone in cross section and further has a grinding surface which is formed on the lateral surface of the truncated cone, in particular the lateral surface having the complementary profile. In this way, the profile to be ground can easily be formed on the roll.
  • the grinding surface on the truncated cone has a first larger and a second smaller diameter and the grinding tool is arranged on the roller in such a way that the first larger diameter of the grinding surface contacts the roller radially further in, ie at a smaller roller diameter, and the second smaller one Diameter of the grinding surface contacts the roller radially further out, ie at a larger roller diameter.
  • the grinding surface has a coating made of a nickel matrix with embedded abrasive particles, in particular cubic boron nitride (also called CBN) and/or diamond, with a grain size of the abrasive particles in the range between 20 and 100 ⁇ m.
  • the grain size can preferably be 50 ⁇ 20 ⁇ m, more preferably 46 ⁇ 2 ⁇ m.
  • the grinding tool can have a base body on which the coating is formed.
  • the base body can be made of metal, for example steel.
  • the base body is very stiff and preferably has a Young's modulus of more than 100 GPa.
  • CBN cubic boron nitride
  • CBN cubic boron nitride
  • diamond is made of pure carbon arranged in a tight three-dimensional matrix
  • CBN has the same three-dimensional matrix but is made up of boron and nitrogen atoms. Due to the complex atomic structure, a larger number of grain shapes are possible with CBN than with diamond, for example.
  • the possible grain shapes can range from an octahedral to a cube shape, or from an octahedral to a tetrahedral shape.
  • CBN has a high thermal conductivity, a low coefficient of friction, and a specific gravity of 3.48 g/cm 3 .
  • CBN Depending on the material to be ground, CBN also has the advantage that, unlike diamond, it does not have any carbon that gets into the material to be ground, in particular the steel alloys, diffuses and can thereby change their material properties. CBN has a long service life and excellent material removal rates and is primarily used in areas that typically have short grinding cycle times and fully automated manufacturing. In particular, powder metallurgy or high-alloy tool steels can often no longer be economically sanded using conventional abrasives.
  • the embedded abrasive particles are crushed.
  • “crushing” means breaking the grain tips in order to increase the dimensional accuracy and the ease of grinding. This is done using a carbide roller that rotates and tracks the grinding surface, which also rotates at the same peripheral speed, and breaks protruding grain tips that deviate from the profile line to a precise size. In this process, a relative speed between the two peripheral speeds of the carbide roller and the grinding surface should be as small as possible. Crushed abrasive particles enable the grinding of highly precise profiles and surface qualities. Alternatively, the embedded abrasive particles can also be non-crushed.
  • a method for producing a roller for a roller bearing as described above is provided, in particular using an arrangement described above.
  • the roll can have the allowance for its roll length.
  • a roll length is the length of the roll between the two end faces along the axis of rotation.
  • the allowance is, for example, one to four times the height of the desired profile.
  • the height of the profile corresponds to the axial extent along the ground profile in the axial direction of the roller.
  • the measurement can be in the area the axis of rotation of the roller can be lower than at the transition to the running surface.
  • the allowance can be 30 ⁇ m in the middle and 50 ⁇ m at the transition to the tread.
  • the roll provided can already have a basic shape of the desired rolls.
  • the roller can have a conical shape, a cylindrical shape, or the like.
  • the basic shape can be formed from blanks by casting and/or mechanical processing.
  • the roller provided is preferably already hardened including the two end faces and/or the running surface. Furthermore, the roller provided can be pre-ground and/or hard-turned before grinding the end profile. This can be advantageous to provide a flat surface. For example, during the subsequent grinding of the end face profile, the allowance provided can be partially and/or completely ground away in order to obtain the end face profile.
  • the end faces are preferably ground before the running surfaces.
  • a pre-ground roll can first be provided with the desired end face profiles and, following the profile-forming grinding process, a finishing process for surface refinement, for example polishing, honing, lapping, and/or vibratory grinding, as well as grinding of the running surface, can take place.
  • the method includes rotating a trough or the dimple in the region of an axis of rotation of the roller, the trough having a defined diameter.
  • the trough can preferably be formed before the end faces are ground.
  • the defined diameter of the trough can be dependent on a roller diameter.

  • the roller 1 and the grinding tool 22 can rotate in opposite directions It is possible to make it possible for the relative rotation speeds of the smaller roller radius r1 and the larger grinding tool diameter D1 or of the larger roller radius r2 and the smaller grinding tool diameter D2 to align, so that a difference, in particular along the contact area, becomes smaller and the relative rotation speed can be minimized . This allows the heat generated during grinding to be minimized.
  • the area in which the grinding tool 22 and the roller 1 touch essentially corresponds to the grinding area. The smaller the area of the contact area, the more precise the design of the ground profile 10 is.
  • a roller for a roller bearing with a ground end profile which has lower friction under axial load and therefore a higher axial load capacity. Grinding enables shorter processing times and thus more efficient production of the end face profiling, especially in comparison to other processing methods, such as hard turning. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide small rolling elements with an arbitrarily curved profile, which ensures an improvement in sliding friction and thus an increase in the axial load capacity of the rolling elements.
